Alright, so I got this task the other day, I was asked to find out who the owner of 130 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA is. Seemed simple enough, right? Well, let me tell you, it turned into a bit of a journey.
First thing I did, as you do, was hit up one of those people search websites. They’re usually pretty good at digging up basic info. Typed in the address, 130 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02116, to be precise. Boom! Right away, it tells me the place is a Single Family Home, and the owner’s name is Kevin Starr. Okay, cool, got a name.
But it also mentioned someone named Michael Calaman living there, and that the owner was absentee. I’m like, what’s that about? Is he renting it out? Is this Michael guy the tenant? My curiosity was officially piqued.
Next, I tried one of those reverse address lookup sites. You know, where you put in the address and it tells you who’s living there. Figured I’d get a bit more background on this Michael guy. Found him, along with some past residents. But nothing juicy, just the usual public records stuff. I found that the information are almost the same in different website.
Then I moved on to property info websites, hoping to find some financial details. Maybe get a sense of the property’s history, you know, the good stuff. Found the address listed, but it was a different zip code – 02467-3832. Okay… that was weird. I thought, maybe it’s a typo, or maybe there’s a neighboring property with a similar address? Anyway, not much else there, just some contact info for the owner, but nothing I hadn’t already found.
After that, I looked up the property on those real estate sites, just to see if it was currently on the market. No such luck. It’s listed as a multi-family home, 6 beds, which seems like a lot for a single-family, if you ask me. I got the size, 9,817 Square Feet, and it’s not for sale.
I even checked out Zillow, they usually have a ton of pictures. Found the property, 130 Commonwealth Ave #130, Boston, MA 02116, same one as before. 36 photos, beautiful place, estimated at a whopping $29,900,000. 10 baths! Can you imagine? This place is huge, 10,022 Square Feet. Definitely not your average single-family home.
So, here’s what I gathered at the end of the day. The owner is most likely Kevin Starr. There’s someone named Michael Calaman who might be living there. The property is massive, definitely a high-value place. It’s a bit confusing, with the multi-family designation and the different zip codes floating around. But hey, I got the owner’s name, and that’s what I was after.
It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be, but it was an interesting little deep dive. You never know what you’re gonna find when you start digging into these things.
- Owner: Most likely Kevin Starr
- Possible Resident: Michael Calaman
- Property Type: Listed as both Single Family and Multi-Family
- Estimated Value: Around $29,900,000 (according to Zillow)
- Size: 10,022 Square Feet (according to Zillow)
Mission accomplished, I guess. On to the next one!
